Phillies blast back-to-back HRs to beat Chapman, Reds

Aroldis Chapman gave up consecutive homers to Freddy Galvis and Erik Kratz and the Philadelphia Phillies rallied for a 3-2 victory over Cincinnati on Sunday.

Chapman (3-2) blew his second straight save opportunity after converting his first eight chances this season. The 100 mph throwing left-hander walked pinch-hitter Delmon Young on four pitches to open the ninth.

Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee pinch-ran for Young and was caught trying to steal second base, but Chapman wouldn't record another out. Kratz, who entered the game in the third inning after Carlos Ruiz left with a strained right hamstring, pulled a 3-2 pitch over the seats in left to tie it at 2-all.

Galvis followed by lining a 1-1 pitch just inside the foul pole in left.

"An unfortunate ending, stunning, but that's the game," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "It kind of spoils you because you always expect (Chapman) to come through. We've got to get him out of the funk he's in and hope it doesn't last too long."

Chapman got off to a rough start Sunday against Young and seemed upset with plate umpire Tim Welke while facing the Philadelphia pinch-hitter.

"I thought I threw good pitches to the first batter," Chapman said through an interpreter.

And the lefty wasn't disappointed with the location of Galvis' homer, nor did he expect Sunday's loss to linger.

"A fastball where I wanted it," he said. "I don't see any problems. Everybody gets hit. Why not me?"

The Reds appeared on their way to their ninth win in 10 games when Chapman entered.
